On January 29, 2013, MidSouth Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release regarding the Company’s earnings for the quarter ended December 31, 2012. The Company’s earnings release, including financial highlights, is attached as Exhibit 99.1.

The preceding information (including Exhibit 99.1) is being furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 of this Form 8-K. This information shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

On January 30, 2013, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of MidSouth Bancorp, Inc. approved the 2013 Annual Incentive Compensation Plan (“AICP”), under which each of the Company’s Named Executive Officer’s participates. Under the AICP, an annual bonus pool is established and will be funded based on the achievement of goals established by the Compensation Committee. Awards under the AICP are based on the extent to which the established goals are met based on a “target” level established by the Compensation Committee and no payments will be made under awards unless the “threshold” levels established by the Compensation Committee are achieved. For 2013, the Compensation Committee has determined that 100% of each Named Executive Officer’s potential award under the AICP will be based on the achievement of overall Bank goals, which, like 2012, are based on net income improvement, net core deposit growth and net loan growth.
